Then to North Station to catch the commuter rail to** Gloucester for the late afternoon to romp around and then** Salem for dinner and witch-hunting then hom

-Day 3-

** Cambridge to Mt Auburn Cemetery, Harvard, stuff like that then** the MFA or ISG

Florine should be coming from Buffalo and we shall Thelma and Louise our way through the high and low ways of Mass but it will not end with us going off a cliff or anything like that. Probably end with a long nap since that's a lot of traveling.
